Check this article about the role of Halliburton in the reconstruction of Iraq. Something shady is going on… It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Apparently the contract that Halliburton signed is pretty open-ended, not just for putting out the oil fires (that mostly did not happen), but also to “operate facilities and distribute products”. The fact that Halliburton was the only company considered for the role, and that VP Cheney used to head that company all makes it even more suspicious. Ayashii!
